Standing in the middle of a landfill just over five years ago, Brett Durbin was confronted with a reality that has been described by many as being the closest thing to hell on earth that exists in our post-modern culture. Children and families that have nothing scrounge in the trash dump for a few scraps of metal to pay for their next bowl of rice. But what could be done to help such a forgotten society?
Witness is the compelling true story of Brett’s experience as he obeyed the call to reach out to the least, the lost, and the forgotten through the formation of Trash Mountain Project, the organization he founded. It is the story of an amazing God, whose actions are very much visible in the lives of the organization and the people they co-labor with and serve around the world.

Devin Brown is a Lilly Scholar and Professor of English at Asbury University, where among other things he teaches a class on C. S. Lewis. He is the author of seven books, including A Life Observed: A Spiritual Biography of C. S. Lewis.

In summer of 2008, Dr. Brown was invited to serve as the Scholar-in-Residence at the Kilns, where for a week he taught a class on Lewis in Lewis’s library each day and got to sleep in his bed each night.

He wrote the script for and appeared in the documentary C. S. Lewis: Why He Matters Today which has interviews with such figures as Eric Metaxas, Tim and Kathy Keller, Chuck Colson, and Michael Flaherty.

He is currently working on a new biography of J. R. R. Tolkien which will come out this fall in advance of the third and final Hobbit film.

Interview with Devin Brown

C. S. Lewis is one of the most influential Christian writers of our time. The Chronicles of Narnia has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide and all Lewis’s works are estimated to sell 6 million copies annually. At the fiftieth anniversary of his death, Lewis expert Devin Brown brings the beloved author’s story to life in a fresh, accessible, and moving biography through focusing on Lewis’s spiritual journey.

Although it was clear from the start that Lewis would be a writer, it was not always clear he would become a Christian. Drawing on Lewis’s autobiographical works, books by those who knew him personally, and his apologetic and fictional writing, this book tells the inspiring story of Lewis’s journey from cynical atheist to joyous Christian and challenges readers to follow their own calling. The book allows Lewis to tell his own life story in a uniquely powerful manner while shedding light on his best-known works.

A former emergency room physician, Dr. Matthew Sleeth felt like he was straightening deck chairs on the Titanic saving a patient at a time while the whole ship (Earth) was going down. Together with his wife and two children, he began to bring his lifestyle in line with his values, cutting back on their fossil fuel by two thirds and electricity use by nine tenths. Following a new calling, Dr. Sleeth resigned from his position as chief of the medical staff and director of the ER to teach, preach, and write about faith and the environment throughout the country.

Interview with Matthew Sleeth

“Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.”
Sounds nice, but how do we find rest in a 24/7 world? Just as the Hebrews were slaves in Egypt, we have become slaves to technology. Our technological tools allow 24-hour productivity and connectivity, give us more control, and subtlety enslave us to busyness itself. Sabbath is about restraint, about intentionally not doing everything all the time just because we can. Setting aside a day of rest helps us reconnect with our Creator and find the peace of God that passes all understanding. The Sabbath is about letting go of the controls one day a week and letting God be God. So how do we do it?

In 24/6, Dr. Matthew Sleeth describes our symptoms, clarifies the signs, diagnoses the illness, and lays out a simple plan for living a healthier, more God-centered life in a digitally-dazed, always-on world. Sleeth shares how his own family was dramatically transformed when it adopted Sabbath practices and helps readers better understand how their own lives can be transformed – physically, emotionally, relationally and spiritually – by adopting the 24/6 lifestyle.

THEY SAID IT

We were sitting in a Buffalo Wild Wings saying, what could we do for the serving community to show them that the church cares about them and that we’re not judgmental? What if there was a website where servers could just sound off, they could just vent, and then the church say, it’s OK, we get it, we understand?. I think everyone knows there’s a disconnect between the serving community and what’s quote unquote the Sunday church crowd.”

Lead Pastor Chad Roberts of Christ Church in Kingsport, TN trying to address the issue of church people who are bad tippers.

What is the secret sauce that holds a family together? What are the ingredients that make some families effective, resilient, happy? It turns out to be an astonishingly good time to ask that question. The last few years have seen stunning breakthroughs in knowledge about how to make families, along with other groups, work more effectively.”

Bruce Feiler who references studies that point to the importance of family a narrative as something that binds families together

You know, I have felt that my own communications are probably monitored. And when I want to communicate with a foreign leader privately, I type or write a letter myself, put it in the post office and mail it. I believe if I send an email, it will be monitored.”

Former President Jimmy Carter who believes U.S. intelligence agencies are spying on him and he further believes the NSA has abused the argument that gathering intelligence is critical to homeland security.

Today I am married, and I did indeed marry a white man. We have experienced a rich marriage, and our cultural differences have not proven to be hindrances. We enjoy our own preferences for different food and music, but ultimately know that in Christ we are much more the same than different. Our marriage “works” because we have sought to understand what the Lord says about our personhood and identity. What I found interesting about the research on segregated churches breeding segregated lives is they determined that those who pray and read the Bible more often were more likely to date outside their race. Fascinating . . . but I’m not surprised.”

Trillia Newbell as she talks about her interracial marriage, segregation in the church, and the power of the word of God to break down racial barriers.

Interview with Kara Powell

Nearly every Christian parent in America would give anything to find a viable resource for developing within their kids a deep, dynamic faith that ‘sticks’ long term. Sticky Faith delivers. Research shows that almost half of graduating high school seniors struggle deeply with their faith. Recognizing the ramifications of that statistic, the Fuller Youth Institute (FYI) conducted the ‘College Transition Project’ in an effort to identify the relationships and best practices that can set young people on a trajectory of lifelong faith and service. Based on FYI findings, this easy-to-read guide presents both a compelling rationale and a powerful strategy to show parents how to actively encourage their children’s spiritual growth so that it will stick to them into adulthood and empower them to develop a living, lasting faith. Written by authors known for the integrity of their research and the intensity of their passion for young people, Sticky Faith is geared to spark a movement that empowers adults to develop robust and long-term faith in kids of all ages.

The big issue over the next 5 to 10 years is going to become how far do we go in pursuit of the perfect baby. Do I think we’re going down that road? Yes. Does it creep me out? Yes. Are you going to be able to draw a clear line? I don’t think so.

Poverty isn’t just a lack of money, but sometimes a complex web of challenges that keep children from ever reaching the starting line. One home I visited was a trailer jammed with eight people, and some nights it has double that.

Interview with Jason

Has Your God-Given Ministry Been Hijacked by Fear?

While serving in a remote Russian village, Jason Butler saw an orphan eating an orange peel. There was little else to eat. Grieving and angry, he began to ask himself what he could do. What he should do.

The only way to make a genuine difference, he concluded, was to move to the village and live among the orphans. Such a move would cost Jason’s career, future, and life. So, like most of us would, he chose not to take the risk.

But unlike many of us, Jason’s initial failure to trust God haunted him . . . and eventually changed his life.

In Dangerous Presence, Jason Butler tells how God eventually gave him a second chance to follow Jesus into the hard places and how he learned that the Christian who ministers among the broken and oppressed actually becomes a danger to the powers of oppression and injustice.

With an engaging, verbal style, Butler weaves biblical narrative and inspiring real-life stories of urban ministry into a prophetic call for Christians to become a dangerous presence to the forces of injustice in the cities of America and around the world.

Dr. John N. Oswalt (PhD, Brandeis University) is Visiting Distinguished Professor of Old Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. He is the author of numerous articles and several books, including the two-volume commentary on Isaiah in the New International Commentary on the Old Testament series and Called to be Holy: A Biblical Perspective.

Interview with Dr. Oswalt

Sixty years ago, most biblical scholars maintained that Israel’s religion was unique—that it stood in marked contrast to the faiths of its ancient Near Eastern neighbors. Nowadays, it is widely argued that Israel’s religion mirrors that of other West Semitic societies. What accounts for this radical change, and what are its implications for our understanding of the Old Testament? Dr. John N. Oswalt says the root of this new attitude lies in Western society’s hostility to the idea of revelation, which presupposes a reality that transcends the world of the senses, asserting the existence of a realm humans cannot control. While not advocating a ‘the Bible says it, and I believe it, and that settles it’ point of view, Oswalt asserts convincingly that while other ancient literatures all see reality in essentially the same terms, the Bible differs radically on all the main points. The Bible Among the Myths supplies a necessary corrective to those who reject the Old Testament’s testimony about a transcendent God who breaks into time and space and reveals himself in and through human activity.

Amy Simpson in her review of Suzanne Field’s book on mental illness entitled The Painted Table. She says, Field’s book honors reality—no sensationalized or romanticized pictures of mental illness here.

The cut-off for the consumer versions of Windows 7—Home Basic, Home Premium, and Ultimate—has been reinstated. Those versions will still stop being available as OEM preinstalls on October 31, 2014. But for the corporate-oriented Professional SKU, there’s now no firm date for when those OEM sales will end. Instead, there’s a footnote, saying that the company will give at least one year of notice before any cut-off date is actually set.

Correspondent Peter Bright reporting Microsoft’s recent time table for having Windows 7 preinstalled on a new computer.

If Congress can open with a prayer, and the state of Alabama Legislature can, I don’t see why schools can’t…They could read the prayer from the day war was declared in World War II. They could read the prayer the day after Sept. 11.

Late last year, I was easily getting 720p and 1080p video on all my devices. Now? I can barely get video to stream at the lowest resolution, which doesn’t even give VHS a run for its money. I’ve looked online and many, many others are also raging about the dreaded combination of Comcast and Netflix.

Matt Vukas, an Indiana University student who seems to have verified that Comcast is intentionally throttling Netfix.

Interview with Heather Zempel

Drawing from her background as an environmental engineer (including such bizarre experiences as monitoring a pig lagoon and the unintended slaughter of a hundred innocent fish), Heather Zempel assesses the perils and possibilities inherent in small groups and other environments for Christian community. The book helps leaders begin to see the inherent “mess” of such gatherings as raw material for arriving at something beautiful.

Read this book and discover fresh insights into how we can support one another’s unique paths to maturity in Christ while maintaining cohesion as a community and blessing the world around us.

THEY SAID IT

This company is based on taking care of people and loving people before you’re worried about money or profit. We were just trying to follow the model that we’ve all worked under for so long and the model that we’ve come to love. There was really nothing else we could have done but try to help people any way we could.

Chick-Fil-A Manager Audrey Pitt explaining why her and her staff cooked nearly 300 sandwiches and distributed them to stranded motorist free of charge.

If my children are to live their full Jewish identity, their future is in Israel and not in France. Many Jews feel this way. There’s a massive desire to leave. My son is always asking me why there are police in front of his Jewish school, why we need to be searched each time we go to the synagogue. We are raising our children to live with this fear.

44 year-old Dentist David Tibi who along with many jews who are fleeing France for the holy Land.

My invitation to Dr. Rosaria Butterfield was intended to help us to think through issues of sexuality, to be sure. But really, my interest in having her speak in chapel was much more than that. It was her profound and winsome description of an entire life — sexuality and all — transformed by the gospel that was the most compelling reason for her being invited to speak in chapel.

Wheaton College Chaplain Stephen Kellough after there was a student demonstration held before former Lesbian Rosaria Butterfield spoke in chapel.

To someone who says, ‘I can’t deal with a risk of breast cancer,’ I would say: ‘Look, there are all kinds of risks. You and your children are going to be hostage to fortune and no amount of testing is going to change that…’

David Wasserman, an ethicist at Yeshiva University and consultant to the department of bioethics at the National Institutes of Health, expressing concern over the screening of embryos based on genetics.

Mail Call

It’s refreshing to see Lois being interviewed here. Many years ago I’d used En-Gedi Resource Center (Her first website) when studying. I was introduced to the Judaic and/or Hebraic perspective of Biblical studies in 1989. Since then, it has been a wonderful journey through scripture that I would have never guessed that I’d be a part of. The Bible has, certainly, become more alive prior to 1989. It has now been over 20 years that I’ve studied in this manner and there still remains a treasure trove of wisdom and learning. I am truly grateful for persons such as Lois Tverberg, Dr. Roy Blizzard, Dwight Pryor, David Bivin, and many more who gently and artfully introduced me to further studies.
